Answer: PCM (Phase Change Material) improves cooling efficiency by leveraging its ability to store and release large amounts of thermal energy during its phase transitions (melting and freezing). Unlike conventional cooling methods, PCM absorbs heat as it changes from solid to liquid, maintaining a stable temperature for longer periods without active refrigeration. When the temperature Read More
FAQ Tag: PCM
How do I prep the “VT-96” for use?
Place panels in a freezer until all PCM turns solid (i.e. 2 hrs. @ -15°C). Shake to verify. Transfer panels into a fridge at least 3 hours before use. Panels may be stored in the fridge until needed for assembly, or the PCM melts.* Before assembly, shake panels to verify PCM is solid. If liquid Read More

What does it mean when a panel is solid?
The PCM inside is below its phase change temperature.
What does it mean when a panel is part solid and part liquid?
The PCM inside is at its phase change temperature. (Used to prevent cooling or warming.)
